If you're not right up to the edge of the MSQ, just play along! Unless you're involved in Ul'dahn politics ICly (which I doubt you are) or your character is particularly in-tune to the possibility of political and civil turmoil (Aya tends to be, out of a sense that when bad things start to happen generally, they often happen to people like her), you really don't need to worry about anything more than the most casual connection.
What do you do in real life when someone starts talking about news you haven't heard or don't care about? Now imagine putting your character in the same situation.
It shouldn't really have much of an impact.
